J. K. Rowling - A Year In The Life (TV, 2007) JK Rowling collaborates with Sony on Harry Potter Book of Spells. JK Rowling might have turned to an adult readership for her new novel The Casual Vacancy, but the boy wizard Harry Potter is still exerting a spell over the author who has collaborated on the interactive Book of Spells for Sony's Playstation 3.
Rowling called the augmented reality game, the first for Sony's new book-shaped peripheral device the Wonderbook, "the closest a Muggle can come to a real spell book". Out this Christmas, it allows players to discover and practise spells such as incendio, expelliarmus and wingardium leviosa – using the Move controller as their wand – while stumbling across notes and facts scribbled into the margins of the book by previous Hogwarts students.
Rowling has written original Potter content for Sony, including back stories for the spells and the creation of new creatures for the Potter world. "I've loved working with Sony's creative team to bring my spells, and some of the history behind them, to life," said Rowling. J.K. Rowling passe chez Grasset. J.K.
Rowling, auteur de la série « Harry Potter », publiera son premier roman chez Grasset. La version poche sortira ensuite au Livre de Poche. Ce roman, dont le titre original est « The Casual Vacancy », suscite une certaine curiosité, puisque J.K. Rowling s’y essaye à une littérature plus adulte que dans «Harry Potter». Elle a déclaré: « J’ai éprouvé un plaisir toujours croissant à écrire la série Harry Potter, publiée brillamment par mon éditeur français de livres pour enfants, Gallimard, mais mon prochain ouvrage sera très différent.»
C’est tout de même un camouflet pour Gallimard, qui selon « Livres Hebdo » entendait bien conserver J.K. . « The Casual Vacancy » sortira aux Etats-Unis en septembre. BibliObs.com.

Open letter to J.K. Rowling. By Chris Meadows This letter is also being sent by snailmail to J.K.
Rowling’s agents, the Christopher Little Literary Agency. Dear Ms. Rowling: For several years, you have adamantly refused to make e-book editions of your Harry Potter series available, citing concerns over promoting piracy. I am writing to ask that you release these official e-books, as soon as you possibly can. To begin with, your prior reluctance to license Harry Potter e-books has not resulted in any reduction in piracy of these books. Indeed, at the moment, if I enter “‘Harry Potter’ e-book torrent” into Google, it returns 690,000 results, in a variety of e-book reader formats. Try as you might, you will never eradicate these illegitimate e-books from the Internet. Over the last few years, e-book reader devices and applications have gained a considerable following—most notably Amazon’s Kindle, which is now being sold in the UK as well as the USA. Thank you for your time. Sincerely: J.K.Rowling Official Site - Harry Potter and more.
